Brut 2021

In Valke Vleug’s third sparkling wine, a small percentage of Pinot Noir and Meunier was added to give the base wine a firmer backbone. A long period sur lattes and a low dosage of only 3 g/l result in a gastronomic, vinous sparkler. The mouth-filling mousse is very fine, and the dosage is beautifully integrated. On the nose, we find brioche and almond nicely combined with citrus and ripe apple. The mouthfeel is elegant, and the long finish bursts with freshness. With only 2,200 bottles, production is once again very limited this year.

Sold out unfortunately but still available in our Valke Vleug Mixed Case or Valke Vleug Bliss Box.

Vinification

Vinification is carried out in the same way as in Champagne, following the traditional method. The Chardonnay grapes are manually harvested and whole-cluster pressed, with separate vinification of the cuvée and taille. After bottling, the wine spent 36 months "sur lattes" for its second fermentation in the bottle. During disgorgement, it received a low dosage of 2g/l.
